so it comes to an end ....

I made it! 

This project has come to an end and it wasn't as scary as everyone made it out to be. Even though there was a lot of last minuet changes during this productions, though the task seemed like so much of what i cant do in the beginning of the year I actually did it. ITS DONE!! like still cant believe its over. Starting out i had such a struggle to pick out what I even wanted to do for the story of this project but once I got it the ball started rolling and end up learning a lot of what is going in the head of everyone behind the scenes in huge production how every detail matters from hair to a pencil laying on the desk how intentional it is. 

For someone who never actually did any projects like this before I took AICE Media I'm proud of how the film opening ended up looking, though i figured out  much more enjoy putting the set and mis-en-scene elements in place as well as costuming then editing i had a lot of fun doing this project as well as seeing others work on theirs.  It was fun but tiring experience that left me stressing for days just thinking about it, but I'm glad i pushed through and came out with a final product (I seriously had no clue if i would).

Planning the CCR

 Hey Blog!

after finishing the entire film opening i thought that would be the hardest part i was wrong coming up with a CCR is hard. i definitely decided to do a podcast because it something i find enjoyable to hear but I don't want it to be just me talking so I've been looking at sound effects to make it more interesting as well as maybe add the music incorporate the music I used for the film opening to make it more entertaining  to sit through. 

For the second CCR i wanted to do some sort of game or something a little more entertaining then just me sitting there answering questions at least have something appealing to watch. While looking at some example i saw how some people incorporated clips of their project into their CCR so the audience had something to see then just the person and its definitely something i would like to do, cause it more fun to watch. 

what even is a CCR?

 Hey Blog!

so after asking multiple people what A CCR I finally got a answer. (i missed the lecture) so planning for it sort of begins for this I have plan 2 media project that interesting answer 4 questions 

1: how does your project use or challenge genre conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

2:  How does your project engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as real media text?

3: How did your production skill develop throughout this project?

4: How did I integrate technologies -software, hardware, and online- in this project?

To present this in an interesting matter got me thinking on what i like to watch to get the info from behind the scenes and I realized  liked to listen to podcast that  I can put on to get the info while doing something else or watch something like a game that keeps it more interesting like when celebrities are put on the spot to answer questions always keep me more entertain then just watching someone answer question. firstly i would like to answer the question in detail then find my exact plan to what I want to do. 

Editing part 2

 Hey Blog! 

So while editing I didn't use any effects cause I have no use for it so after I figured out how to put the clips in the right order to make the story I had to figure out how to but the credits in the scene as well as the tittle and where it would fit, while watching the finish video i realized the perfect pace to put the credits is right in the beginning in the clip before the tittle. I liked the shadow behind the production making it stand out the production tittle and tittle of the film had the same color while the other credits i used white that still stands out with bluish background as well it seems to fill the bit of empty space on the side. 

The tittle i decided to blurry the clip and put the tittle on top of it while zooming in as well make the tittle to flicker To emphasize the mystery aspect of the film. While still having movement in the background. because without the separate two scenes I don't feel like it would make much sense have an entire black tittle slide then rather have the story keep going even in the background. 

Editing

 hey Blog!

So i started editing on the plane ride I had today and with the change of story from the outline i had to change what I wanted in the scene instead of the two separate story's only connected by just the drawing i mixed scenes so it starts flashing back and forth to connect the story more.

The music and choosing which part i want was hard and it all started to sound the same so at one point i had to learn how to sped up the sound but not make it sound choppy so when the Mara scenes start the music starts to be a little faster to get audience more interested. but hearing the sound so many times is starting to annoy me but ohh well I have to preserver. 

I still to add the subheading but I'm leaving that up to another day.
